I'm curious as to how often people get very strong signal strength on their GPSr. I was driving to a cache yesterday and all my bars on my satellite page were over the top bar on the strength section. I had every satellite locked in and my accuracy was 8-9 feet. Check out the photo:

I never look at that page since I have the accuracy field on my compass page. I imagine it's pretty common anytime you're in an open area with a view of the horizon all around._________________Tupperware doesn't belong in the kitchen!

I've actually learned when I'm taking coordinates to check the signal strength and satellite configuration. If I notice either the satellites aren't in a good dispersed pattern, or the signal strength is too low, the coordinates I get aren't going to be terribly accurate, no matter how many feet of accuracy my GPSr is telling me I have.

It works in reverse when I'm caching too, if I'm having trouble zeroing in on a cache site, I'll look at the Satellite page to see what I'm getting.

(of course this is the part where everyone says "I've always done that" and I get a bit )

When I'm on a highway it does that. Never anywhere else._________________Sad state of affairs.

For me, itís only when Iím on the highway, with the GPSr on the dash, and the windshield wipers turned off. Only small clouds on the horizon, and Iím in the center lane._________________...formerly 'dachebo'.
